What is Kazatel about?
Similar injuries on all three victims suggest a connection between the old and new cases. The difficulty is that the main suspect in the earlier disappearances is already dead. The investigation focuses on the Hult family, whose past is filled with conflict, religious fanaticism, and secrets. When another young girl disappears, the search becomes a race against time. Patrik and Erika are also expecting their first child, making the prospect of losing a child deeply personal for him.
